unfortunately, i think the situation is looking grim for NJ and MHJ. MHJ has been on radio silence the last couple of months in stark contrast with her press conferences and public appealing she was doing last year. i think she might be pulling back due to fears that it may get her into more trouble.
Hybes response has been in sharp contrast with MHJ and NJ's activities. Hybes CEO, Jae-sang said a couple of days ago regarding the Ador situation, "I told you in the shareholder meeting held last year that we will tackle our problems with calm and disciplined measures one by one, even if it takes time, based on principles," and that "I believe that we are seeing the fruits of those endeavors," Seems in line with how Hybe has handled the situation as of today. No major announcements, but you know they are working hard to prepare for this case and it'll be not easy to overcome a large corporation like Hybe.
He also defended Hybes' multi-label business model, which will likely be one of Ador's grievances during the hearing.
if the courts do rule in favor of Ador, i think it'll be a major blow to not only Hybe but the entire Kpop industry as it would open the door for more reform. Which would be a good thing, i dont think minors should be allowed to sign contracts, period. especially contracts that extended for years.
